Olan Soulé (28 February 1909—1 February 1994) was an American actor who had professional credits in nearly 7,000 radio shows and commercials, appearances in 200 television series and television films, and in over 60 films.

Born in La Harpe, Illinois, Soulé portrayed Carmichael, the Agro Ship worker in "The Magnificent Warriors" and both parts of "War of the Gods".
